** ARMENIA. 9910, Dec 16 at 1432, S Asian song at S8-S5, then talk in unID
language. Aoki/NDXC shows TWR India, 300 kW, 100 degrees via Yerevan-Gavar,
1430-1445 Saturday in Haryanvi; weekdays in Hindi; Sundays in Mewadi. EiBi`s
readme language list:
``HAR Haryanvi/Bangri/Harayanvi/Hariyanvi: India-Haryana (8m) [bgc]``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOTSWANA. 4930, Dec 16 at 0046, JBA carrier, as VOA expansion to 24h service
due to Zimbabwe appears still to be vigent; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11762 approx., Dec 15 at 2108, no carrier but S9 signal of extremely
distorted Brazuguese. So for a change, it`s not RHC as Mark Coady and I first
guessed. Nor is it RHC`s style of a single plodding scripted M announcer,
rather lively W&M interchanges, and they`re talking about Brasil, not Cuba.
Therefore, it must be the RNA transmitter which is supposed to be on 11780, but
totally out of whack --- nothing there as it has been active lately until 2200.
The splatter field extends roughly 11740-11785. It is marginally more readable
on the R75 in FM mode, and noise blanker also helps slightly. Much greater
signal level than the other ZYs on 25m now, 11854.9 and 11934.9. RHC is not on
yet, but by 2206 it has replaced RNA on 11760 with normal modulation in Spanish
at S9+20. Will this happen again Dec 16? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15232, 15301, 15439, 15508, 15576, 15166, Dec 16 at 1420 and later,
approx. spots of filthy spurblobs from 15370 RHC transmitter which sounds OK on
fundamental. Yesterday I was hearing these during the following hour; and
yesterday during the 1400 hour Wolfgang B?schel was monitoring RHC via remote
SDR in NJ, without reporting any of them, but maybe not looking at the right
frequencies. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.932, Dec 16 at 1426, JBA carrier, no doubt VOI currently on
its upper-off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KIRITIMATI. 846.00, Dec 16 at 0656, very weak but steady carrier past 0700,
not registering on the S-meter amid heavy 840 & 850 signals. Presumed R.
Kiribati. I have not been seeing any routine loggings of this lately from the
Victorians; so common that of no interest, or sporadically active? Nor from
anyone deeper into North America like me (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-USB, Dec 16 at 0041, hard rock. Several logs of it as
unID:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,39273.0.html
including SSTV images such as ``Nobody tells the truth``, and Chris Smolinski
assumes it`s Pee Wee (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.080, Dec 15 at 2114, WBCQ is S7 to S9+10 during `Financial
Survival` conspiracy theories. It`s the backup transmitter running 30 kW as we
learn later, following a disastrous fire which destroyed the original WBCQ-1
transmitter on Dec 10.
Allan Weiner was going to tell us all about it on his Friday night show, so I
made a point of listening to it all on webcast, taking extensive notes, UT
Saturday Dec 16 from 0100 on (7490). At 0040 check, 7489.80 itself was found to
be a JBA carrier; 5130 not yet on but might have been better.
It`s a monologue by AW, with interjexions from others mostly off-mike in the
studio. If this seem somewhat disjointed, I am presenting the info roughly in
the order it came over.
Says this broadcast is on 7490 and 5130; with Angela, Scott and Timtron. AW is
not feeling well, has had an atrial fibrillation [irregular heart rhythm]
attack:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation
which hits him about three times a year.
Disaster hit Sunday December 10, as it was snowing. Fire destroyed the #1
transmitter. There are five other transmitters, including the new #6 which is
for 3265. One of the others is apparently a backup.
Last year`s fund drive with a goal of $500K raised only 4 or 5K$, but he`s
grateful for that; paid part of the $6K cost for shipping the new transmitter
from California.
He and the crew had just been rebuilding #1 the past three years. The
renovation cost $50-80K. And it went back into service about 6 weeks ago,
working fine. Originally a Harris MW-50, converted to a SW-50. Has very good
efficiency of 90%, but a flaw.
Surrounding the tubes running 22 kv is a fiberglass ducting plenum, dating from
the original unit 40 years ago, so deteriorated. It caught fire. Last Sunday
signed on at 5 pm as usual for Marion`s Attic; by 6 pm, it was burning as AW
walked into the transmitter building; turned off the HV. Fiberglass is made of
explosive resins, impossible to put out. Caused extensive devastation, debris
all over the building which contains two other transmitters.
Along with the atrial fibrillation, AW is on heart and blood pressure meds.
This situation was not good for his conditions.
The #2 transmitter is for 5130; #3 is the backup 30 kW for 7490, which was
untouched and soon switched on to resume broadcasting.
Fortunately the building did not burn down, which it could have; it has
three-quarter-inch plaster which deflects heat. The wiring, power supply, etc.,
are OK; just that there is soot over everything which must be cleaned up, as
electricity and soot=carbon do not mix!
He has been unable to get insurance for WBCQ, since it`s ``at the end of
nowhere`` and as an international broadcast station a ``terrorist target``. Has
tried to get insurance for ten years.
[Merriam-Webster Definition of plenum. 1b: an air-filled space in a structure;
especially: one that receives air from a blower for distribution (as in a
ventilation system)]
Plenum is an air ducting system, from the main blower to cool the two main
tubes. He thinks this happened in a flash, as the fibreglass, which has
metallic fibers (?) within it, broke down. It had only been on air for an hour
when the ducting ignited. The blower kept running, fanning the flames.
He wants to replace this ASAP and needs to raise $20K to purchase another used
SW transmitter. AW has one in mind, which apparently has already been converted
from MW to bona fide SW, but will need further parts and work, and high
shipping costs.
Frequent plugs for gofundme or contribute via the WBCQ.com website. Even JL has
contributed via gofundme!!
WBCQ is not making a profit; depends on unpaid volunteers. AW says he has not
raised rates since starting in *1998! (despite inflation), charging anywhere
from $10 to $60 an hour depending on the amount of time purchased. This is to
accommodate free-speech clients who he knows could not afford higher rates.
The 3265 #5 [6?] transmitter has the same plenum problem, so that is being
replaced with half-inch teflon. Still waiting for a major client for it. Anyone
else running a Harris transmitter with fibreglass plenum should take note and
replace it before they have such a fire!
``Get this right, Glenn Hauser --- all the other transmitters are fine``. For
this very reason, they are in two other buildings. (?? IF I did not get
something right, it`s because no one tells me directly what`s happening.)
A new SW transmitter from Ampegon or CCA would cost $300K to $500K, out of the
question. WBCQ has always relied on used equipment, converted for SW.
The replacement transmitter is of a different shape than the burned one; the
building walls will have to be modified so it will fit, but this is doable.
Most work will be volunteer, but will pay a crew to clean up the building. Temp
is now 4 degrees, minus wind chill. Not much work can be done until spring, but
plans to have the new rig going by mid-summer, better than ever.
This was a chemical problem that no one foresaw. Harris cut corners by using
fibreglass. ``Harris built a time-bomb``.
I was wondering if Allan would ever say anything about the 9330 transmitter,
and why we can`t hear it. He does say it`s #4 in another building, and
unaffected by the fire.
It`s now past 0200 when he starts to reply to e-mail, acknowledge some
contributors. His benedixion starts at 0217 as the show is almost over.
Of course, we wish Allan and everyone at WBCQ the best, and good luck in
carrying through on getting back to 50 kW on 7490.
John Carver, mid-north Indiana, sends his report on this same broadcast:
``Tonight's show started on time this evening. Listening on 5130 as 7490 was
plagued with long, deep fades and coming in with the high point in the swing
being S5. 5130 is not great this evening at S5-S7 but the fades don't seem to
be as bad here.
Allan opened the show with the news of the 7490 transmitter fire. Angela, Dr.
Becker and TimTron were in the studio with him. Allan is not feeling well,
suffering effects of stress and the smoke from the fire. At 0108 the noise came
up making it hard to copy. Allan said he was having some heart problems from
the stress, smoke and not being able to breathe in the transmitter building
while putting out the fire. Lots of details about the fire and the clean up.
It sounds like they're still running with one mic in the studio this week.
Understandable with all that's been going on since last week's program. No
insurance on the station as Allan states that the insurance companies consider
the station to be a terrorist target.
Has started a Go Fund Me page to raise money to buy another transmitter. Has
another transmitter in mind if they can raise the money. Transmitter would be
shipped to a warehouse in Presque Isle and converted there and then moved to
the station probably in the spring.
Transmitter for 3265 is being torn down and the fiberglass air ducting is being
removed as this is what caused the two previous fires in the 7490 transmitter
and the 3265 transmitter has the same fiberglass ducting in it.
Wants to raise at least twenty thousand dollars to defray the costs of another
transmitter. New transmitter would cost three hundred thousand dollars.
No damage to the transmitter buildings or any of the wiring or other equipment
contained there. Losing large hunks of the conversation in the fades. Signal
has dropped to S5 and less now. As usual 5130 transmitter shuts down at 0202
right in the middle of a sentence. I know they're having all sorts of problems
at the station but they really should fix that and leave 5130 on till the end
of the program. John`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11530, Dec 16 at 0652, WRMI with Brother Scare singing at S9+20,
about equal to // 11580; so Radio Herwa International likely to ensue at 0700,
and probably R. Biafra presued until 0530. There are extreme variations in
reception of these in the nightmiddle, often JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775.017, Dec 15 at 1911, KVOH Spanish sermon is S9+20 and somewhat
suptorted, but closer to frequency than last few days. Perhaps they saw my
measurements of +150 Hz or so. No spur field detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, Dec 15 at 1917, WTWW-3 reactivated after several months! I
bandscan past here just about every day and nothing until now. It`s S9+20 with
``Wish Upon a Star``, not exactly Xmasmx, but at 1920, KI4OSH from Fairview TN
utters Xmas wishes, then to Armed Forces too; Ted ad for Icom transceivers,
1923 ``All Xmasmx all the time from WTWW``. Modulation is somewhat distorted, a
pity for a music service, and carrier wobbles with BFO on. 2107 recheck, still
on but faded drastically to S5-S7. More hams are making recorded Xmas greetings.
12105 was originally dedicated to ``Bible Worldwide` in a few strange languages
such as Yoruba, but now there is reason to add it to my caradio BSR-1 memories
in order to keep track of it. Xmasmx is the stuff Ted has been running on 5085
at night, and one would expect the same on WTWW-2`s day frequency 9930, but not.
The only other user of 12105, per NDXC/Aoki is RFA Burmese via Tinian at
1230-1430. As far as FCC is concerned, WTWW may use 12105 any time between 1400
and 0600 during B-17. See the schedule at
https://transition.fcc.gov/ib/sand/neg/hf_web/B17FCC01.TXT
which among many other versions of B-17 info can be reached via
http://www.worldofradio.com
VP carrier still on 12105 at 0044 and 0053 Dec 16, but can`t hear any music or
other modulation. Guess what: next check at 0651, I still get a JBA carrier,
exciter? then Xmasmx about Santa Claus blasts on at S9 for a few seconds, and
gone again. At 1359 Dec 16, the JBA carrier is presumably Tinian, tho FCC
allows for a 30-minute overlap.
When was 12105 last logged from WTWW? April 2017, per the MARE Log Summary
issued in late September. Searching my logs, I last had 12105 with dead air on
May 13 and 16, no signal on May 20, 2017. IIRC, the Bibling had ceased quite a
while before then.
The #3 transmitter is a different model than the others, and we concluded that
when it broke, Ted couldn`t fix it. Or course the current 12105 activity could
be from #2 transmitter, since it`s not on 5085 or 9930 when we are hearing
12105. 9475 is running as usual with SFAW. Only if we ever hear three WTWW
frequencies at once, shall we know that all transmitters are operational (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 11760-11780, Dec 16 at 1905, 2157 chex, no signals, proper
or otherwise from RNA, unlike yesterday. Later we get a tip from Manuel M?ndez,
Spain, that the other RNA frequency, 6180 was heard with ID at 2125. Maybe they
only have one transmitter semi-usable. By the time I`m back at the dials, 2342,
could be RNA mixing with CRI, but S8 weaker than adjacents 6175 and Mexico
6185. By 0007 Dec 17, only a JBA carrier on 6180. CRI schedule is 2200-2257
Mandarin, 2300-2357 Cantonese, both via Kunming. Then there`s Iran in Spanish

GERMANY.
VOT keeps going with IS but no IDs; 2356 a slight glitch in the music, maybe
feed input switch, and then repeated more often than once a minute over music,
``Die Stimme der T?rkei``, so as I have been warning, the sloppyrators at
Emirler are overrunning 5960 tonight with German, instead of turning it off
after English. Nauen carrier from *2359 comes on atop, producing fast SAH with
off-frequency Turkey.
UT Sunday Dec 17 at 0000 timesignal presumably from VOT, as KBC starts
modulating. They add up to S9+5, and there is more QRM from the SAH than from
Germodulation, but it`s quite annoying if you are trying to listen to KBC, and
still going past 0020 when I QRT. TRT may not quit until German be over circa
0050, but surely will be off for the second hour of KBC with Uncle Eric. KBC
could have avoided this collision by not risking a TRT frequency when it is
supposed to be off. BTW, there is also ACI from Cuban pulse jammer on 5955
against nothing since Radio Rep?blica disappeared years ago (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** NORTH AMERICA. 6940-USB, Dec 16 at 2240 S9-S5 rock music from pirate; 2241
``thanks to the listeners in C-K`` repeated a few times by that synthyl voice
we have been hearing from Clever Name Radio. These logs agree that`s it, altho
the first one`s times are one hour ahead:

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Dec 16 at 2341, algo with hard rock, S8 vs band
noise level of S6. (6940 CNR is off by now.) More unID logs of it:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,39290.0.html
There was also a 6930-LSB a few minutes earlier:

6930-USB is off by 0008 Dec 17 check, leaving no pirate activity

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1908 monitoring: Hi Glenn, No luck with HLR
again today on 7265 [WORLD OF RADIO, Sat 1531 UT via Germany]. I suspect it's
just the time of year, and will improve again in a few weeks once the days
start lengthening. Looking at last year's logs, I didn't receive it between the
3rd of December and the 15th of January, so it seems to be following the same
pattern. I'll keep checking for it though if I'm in (Alan Gale, England, Dec
16, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
9330v-CUSB, Sat Dec 16 at 2230, NO signal detectable from WBCQ for WOR (Nor is
it audible after 2300 when Blalock would be blasting nor at 2338.) Confirmed
Sat Dec 16 at 2300 on WRMI 11580, good S9 to S9+20 (but by 2340 has faded down
to S2; also back at 2247, 11580 had World Music fill, Greek, rather than RAE
Italian on weekdays). As usual, by 0200 UT Sunday Dec 17, 11580 is JBA, but it
sounds like me. Now, WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO is already in much better
with ham news, prior to its WOR airing circa 0415. Besides that, further nexts:
Sun 1130 HLR 9485-CUSB to WSW
Mon 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Mon 0400v WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0430 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2030 WRMI 11580 to NE, 9455 to WNW, 7780 to NE
Tue 2130 WRMI 9455 to WNW [or #1909?]

** U S A. 9395, Dec 16 at 2118, WRMI `Oldies` service with VOA News relay
ending at 2120 (instead of `The Power Hour` on weekdays) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9955, UT Sunday Dec 17 at 0009, YL in Spanish is talking
about (her?) paintings in the Cuban exile community, vs. jamming of a different
type than usual: machine-gun-like bursts interrupted by quick pauses about 25
times per minute. Is it Mirka? No, WRMI sked shows 0000-0015 Sunday is
`Moderna` which gets one other airing UT Monday at 0115-0130. It`s hardly clear
that she is finished at 0015 when WRMI suddenly switches to gospel huxter in
English, `Words of Life Ministry` from Buford GA, as the jamming continues,
also with some traditional pulsing.
We`ve noted `Moderna` before, with a blurb on the Programming page,
http://wrmi.net/index.php/programming/
identifying her as Yadira Escobar, but totally confused scheduling info. She
promotes reconciliation across the Straits; tough, jam her anyway! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, Dec 16 at 1905, 2157 chex, no signal on the WTWW-3 frequency,
unlike yesterday afternoon (and nightmiddle) when it was Xmasmx. Nor is 9930
on, no `Theater Organ in the Ozarx`, but 9475 with deviant `QSO` show after
1900.
5085, UT Sun Dec 17 at 0204, Xmasmx, ``First Noel``, not organ now either
